Stolen from... well, everyone :D

What was the #1 song the day you were born? Google the date and #1 song and then post your #1 song on your LJ - preferably with a Youtube vid if you can find one!

Re: the FOB happenings: I commented on impertinence's post that I'm honestly not as upset about the potential of FOB being over as I am by the idea of there being a rift between the boys. The idea of them not all getting along makes me sad :( Although if this is the end, I think FaD was a very strong album to go out on.

I've been trying to get a piece ready for a juried show; submissions are due on Friday. I feel totally un-creative right now. I have really no ideas (and haven't for a couple of weeks), and everything I've painted in the past month has been ugly as shit. I don't think I'll have anything new to submit by then, and I don't feel comfortable submitting any of the pieces that I've done in the past year...

sorry, that's enough emo for now :D Crankypants Love meme! I could use some love, if you're so inclined: I'm here

Have any of my fellow Delcious users tried out the new "browse these bookmarks" feature? Basically, if you click on it, it takes you to the first in a group of tags (all of a user's bookmarks, or everything in the tag group depending on what you have selected). Then you can use a banner at the top of the screen to click through the actual pages that are bookmarked. It's still in beta, but it could have potential. I notice there's an obvious lag in pages loading, though.

I kind of wanted to do art for bandombigbang this year - I was thinking it might get me back into fanart? but then I saw the dates: prompt claims May 1, check-in May 15, art due June 1. I leave for Europe on April 30 get back on May 15. boo :( Maybe next year? I did sign up to do mixes for both waves though, I love inflicting my musical taste on others :D

OMG I'M SO EXCITED! :D PStump solo project" Drumming! Many other instruments! He finally caved and got a Twitter!

I picked up these Airwalk kicks yesterday at Payless -



There was nothing in my size in the women's shoes, but I spotted these in the guys - $14! Sweet :D

Oh livejournal, you're back! Never leave me again *clutches to her bosom*

I was going to get up early to up my bids in help_haiti and I forgot, so I didn't win anything :(

I'm sure you all have seen this already, but here is Keith Olbermann's response to Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson's hate speech:


Also, I just wanted to say: help_haiti is one of the reasons that I love being in fandom. I feel very privileged and proud to be a part of a group of such generous and caring people.

I think I drank too much Pepsi today guys (are all those cans on my desk from today?) - I am SO wired all of a sudden. I should be getting ready for bed. *flails*

quick thoughts about the season premier of Chuck! ( Cut for spoilers )

Thank you very much to everyone who commented on my last post - I'm going to think about it and reply to comments after work. You guys are the best! &hearts!

I had meant to do a "Christmas was awesome" post before I got distracted by all that stuff. So... Christmas was awesome! If any of you remember my Christmas last year (my mom spent most of the holidays in the hospital), they pretty much sucked, so this was a nice change.
Everyone got along really well, our family spent a lot of time together playing cards (poker) and Trivial Pursuit - we actually went through ALL of the question cards in the game over the past week or two :D Then I got a Wii from my dad, totally unexpectedly as we weren't supposed to be doing "big" gifts, just stocking stuffers. My sister and I spent last weekend playing the sports games that come with it, mostly bowling, which was a lot of fun. It was really nice spending time together :) Despite the wii from Dad, it was also absolutely awesome not doing big gifts. I only had to go into the mall once this year! So much less stress.

I hope that your holidays have been lovely so far, and you have a safe and happy new year! &hearts&hearts&hearts

Ok, so I mentioned I wanted to put some prints up on Etsy. I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some advice on what I should print. I'm thinking maybe 4 or 5? Even if you've never commented or anything on my journal before, or we don't know each other, I don't care, I'd love your opinion! And who doesn't love ticky boxes?

( would you believe I don't actually remember the titles of these? warning - image heavy! )

What should I offer as prints? (pick a couple)

Thank you, everyone!

I'm done school for the semester, which is an intense relief. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that I failed one of my classes, because I didn't hand in one assignment which was worth 20%, and I don't have enough marks to make a 65% pass without it. Meh - I'm going to try not to stew over it, I'll just have to re-take it in summer semester. I've been swamped with school for the past month or so... luckily there was lots of awesome fic posted during drawn_to to procrastinate with :D

I have yet to do any Christmas shopping - my family is only doing stockings, but still, I should probably get on that. It's been sooo nice avoiding the mall, though. I'm also working on setting up my Etsy shop, I might ask you all for your thoughts on what art and photo prints I end up selling. I don't think I'll sell much (anything?), but I want to have my art up somewhere so that it's easier to point people there when they ask me about it, and I figure if I can sell a couple of prints, so much the better :D

Less than a month until new episodes of Chuck! I think I'm in the mood to re-watch all of it so far...

This is beautiful! Labuat (via rivers_bend)

Thanks for the hugs and the cookies, you guys are the best! I'm feeling a bit better now, I just get a bit low around the holidays sometimes.

christmas time is so fucking depressing

It feels like late September/early October. Not that I'm complaining, it's just weird. The weather here is absolutely beautiful right now, sunny, no wind, and 9C (that's about 48F?). I wish I wasn't at work right now. I literally walked in the door and got my head torn off by my boss for no reason. Wish I didn't need the money :(

I know most of you will have seen this, but it's one of the most epic things ever, so for posterity, and in case you haven't seen it yet...
